Steve Jobs certainly made the fast track for being on a postage stamp. It used to be that the honoree had to be deceased for at least 10 years before he/she could be considered for that kind of memorial. Selection criteria must have changed.

Now the rules don’t even require the subject of a postage stamp to be dead. The 10-year wait was shorted in 2007 to 5 years, and in 2011 the USPS entirely ditched the long-standing ban on living subjects.
